El Charro Lubbock Reviews
The food is delicious. The menu has a good variety of plates to choose from!
This place has the authentic Mexican restaurant vibe! Great service, the Cheladas are awesome, and the price was very affordable. Bathrooms were very clean as well! Our new favorite Mexican restaurant in the Lubbock area!
El Charro has a fantastic breakfast. Will definitely be back!
I've eaten here several times and every time was great! The staff is friendly and very attentive.
In Lubbock for a wedding and found this little place on the edge of town. By far the best tasting mexican food I've had in a long long time. Waitress was polite and atte tove and the atmosphere was quiet and cozy. It's was great! If if you find my review and looking for some really good food, gives these guys a try. They will not dissapoint.
I only wish I'd found out about this spot sooner! Salsas are delicious, food is authentic and comes quickly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
Got burritos for breakfast. They were made fresh but did not take long at all. Definitely a great place to grab a burrito on the go.
Food was authentic, fresh, and tasted great. My service couldn’t have been any better, server was on top of his game. Strongly recommend, will be returning for sure!
We have stopped and ordered breakfast the past two days while in town visiting. The food is fresh, delicious and prepared pretty quickly. Barbacoa was not greasy and finely shredded. My entire group loved it. Tacos a great. Chilaquiles were a hit as well. Absolutely no complaints from our group.
This place didn’t disappoint. Oyster were on point. I’m a fan of home pads tortillas and they definitely delivered. Chips and salsa were also amazing. I ordered the alambre! Hit the spot. Waitress was nice, friendly and on point. I would definitely come back when in town. Place does look abandoned but it’s a gem!
¡Buen provecho! My beautiful sister from El Paso came to visit so we chose to eat here. Such a great choice! We ordered a barbacoa burrito. It was a huge size burrito. The barbacoa meat was chopped well with great texture and nicely tendered. The enchiladas were filled with plenty of ground beef and were oh so cheesy! The migas plate was also nicely cooked. The tortilla strips were crispy, and the scrambled eggs were mixed well with plenty of peppers and onions. ¡FANTASTICO!
This was our first visit to El Charro. The server was really nice and the food tasted great. We went about 930am so it wasn't business until we nearly finished. My only issue was the food was not hot. It was warm but not hot. We didn't say anything though, as we don't like to send food back. Other than that it was good. I would go again.
2026 thought i was going to have a hot and fresh plate but turn out it was cold very disappointed....Lately food here has been not to good ..haven't seen the owner himself in a long while .....kinda explains how the food isn't perfect anymore due to not seeing him ..if he was around food would be in perfect condition....but like I said had a cold plate when it was supposed to be hot and thats cause they took to much time on getting our food out today !!!!!!
They don’t ACCEPT CARD! Only CASH! Drove all the way over here and wasted gas only to be told they only accept cash! Don’t waste your time!
Their food is okay but they over charged me. Guy at the window said 15$ and some change. I look at my card statement and it got adjusted to 19$ bucks. They are probably doing it to everyone who has a card. I strongly urge anyone to just pay cash cus as far as I know they are ripping people off and that's not good for anyone who pays with card. Don't let these people scam you folks...all I got was two burritos and some chips. 19 dollars does not sound like a good price for that amount of food. I will not be back..
